Hi,

Is there a way to control which rim joist is overlapped in the corner? Depending on the layout, I can sometimes get this to show properly, but would be nice If I could get it to work every time.

In the screen shot, the last joist (rim on right) would be end nailed to what would be the beam (currently showing double rim joist). Should not be done this way. I know I can do no rim joist, draw a beam, set the height and properties of beam, and run the deck joists into the beam. But it would be nice to just double the rim joist.

Thanks,

Chris
